Reply to: Paying in a large cheque...

[MarillionFan]

You realise when someone makes a counter-argument that doesn't automatically mean they 100% endorse that side's entire belief system... they might just be pointing out bias and incorrect points? e.g. if you make an insulting claim about Trump and I point out that your claim is untrue, that doesn't mean I'm a Trump supporter.

People here seem very poorly educated when it comes to objectivity and debate. If someone says anything in the slightest defence of someone left-wing, they are branded as left-wing even if they are defending the person, not their political views.

So much spite and anger... I attack your argument, you insult me. Defend your arguments and your principles instead of engaging in puerile character attacks. Stop viewing Trump as a role model for how to engage in debates

Absolutely no spite and anger here, I can assure you I'm typing this with a very wry smile on my face .

I've called you a "Champagne Socialist" and a "Lefty Leaning Liberal", very much tongue in cheek, I guess these are insults, or puerile character attacks?

I would suggest you calling people out as racists, when the other half of their family is of ethnic origin, is far more insulting?
Maybe, you are just trolling and I have got you all wrong, as I have said on here before.

Anyway, we'll leave it there and I genuinely hope you enjoy your inheritance.

Simple, put £150K on man city to beat Celtic tomorrow night, pick up £60K profit on Thursday morning and take a few weeks off

Like that bet on Senegal v France?

Pretty much, it would appear

OOPS

[NotAllThere]

Got the impression when in Zurich a couple of month ago the people found it expensive themselves. Hear plenty of stories of folks crossing into the German border to shop in Aldi or wherever.

It's great from a tax perspective.

Not only is it cheaper, but we get the VAT back as well. But we don't do it because it's so expensive in Switzerland. We do it because it's cheaper in Germany (and France).

Well that thread went well.

Yep. Nearly ran out of popcorn.

It's Momentum supporters they are copying not Trump.

How would you possibly know?

Not to mention, who the hell are you to criticise me for not giving my inheritance to charity unless you have/would do that yourself? You're doing exactly what you claim about me - saying I should act one way while having not the slightest intention of acting that way yourself. I'll note again that I've never claimed to be a socialist (I'm definitely not one) so accusing me of hypocrisy against my principles is just a lie.

I'm not at all, for the record I wouldn't give any to charity. I certainly wouldn't expect you to give it away, completely the opposite, I hope you enjoy it.

Obviously, I must have got you all wrong and you aren't a left leaning Liberal at all, someone must have been ghost writing all your posts, or your account has been compromised.

To be clear, I only take the P*ss and I'm sure others do too, because you provide all the ammo and opinionated views to allow us to do so.

I have no problem doing this, as I have seen you get stuck into people many times, quite often flashing the overused racism card

[d000hg]

Ah, but you wouldn't.

[barrydidit]

Aye.


You still on for the session on the 14th?

If my key worker says it's ok, yep.

[MrMarkyMark]

I mean if I'd posted asking about how to give a large sum to charity that would also be a first world problem.

How about you stop your bitter, untrue accusations. Let you forget pretty much my entire family has died in the last three years and this is the silver lining to a rather large cloud, that my family worked hard their whole working lives to earn.

Ah, but you wouldn't.

I'm certainly not bitter and I remember giving you condolences about your family at the time, so its a little low that you bring that up in your "defence", IMO.
Don't you think everyone's family has worked hard for their money, or is it just yours?

If you wish people not to comment on such things, how about you keep your personal business to yourself in the future, instead of posting it on an internet forum?

Then you won't get ever receive any comments you don't like, capiche?
